Descrição
Hi! My name is Daniel and I am currently taking a gap semester from university to do some self-discovery and see more of the world before I finish my degrees. I am passionate about working with animals and am looking for ways that I can bring this back to my uni studies as well. I love to play all sports especially basketball, and I love to draw, dance, read, and sing when I have free time!

Quais são suas habilidades?
I am in my third year studying computer science and Hispanic studies in university and am proficient with the programming languages python, java, and C. I have worked three summers as a camp counselor, teachers assistant, and art teacher in Playa Samara Costa Rica where I prepared and delivered two hour lessons Monday-Thursday. I have played sports my whole life and played basketball briefly in college. While growing up I helped my family take care of over 100 foster cats, 20+ foster dogs, and other animals such as snakes, hamsters, fish, stick bugs, etc. I spent one summer working as a dock-hand where I worked with the public at a busy park in Seattle.

I found both Christin and Luca to be extremely accepting, open, kind, and generous people. My first workaway experience and I highly recommend it to anyone considering!
Eating vegan, living in a rural area, and gardening were all very new to me. I felt extremely grateful to be exploring these things with Luca and Christin because they had a wealth… read more of knowledge to share and they were always willing to stop what they were doing to answer my questions and they always answered them thoughtfully and completely. Beyond the questions I asked, I also learned a lot by simply being in their presence and feeling their dedication to their project. The energy in their place is unique to anything I’ve experienced. Upon arriving, I felt quite disoriented standing in this energy - a feeling that I remembered as being similar to how I felt while talking with a very genuinely happy monk and while confronted with the large calming presence of an elephant. I don’t mean to say that Luca and Christin are some religious figures or something, but they have certainly poured a lot of themselves into being caring stewards of their land and the earth and their land has certainly rewarded them for their effort and I think this creates a very unique atmosphere that was very special for me to experience. I would also say they are very culturally aware and are equally committed to bringing this experience to those around them, and in a way that is very accepting of other identities.

While staying with them I was able to relax in a slower paced life and reconnect with nature which was exactly what I was hoping for as I had just spent a lot of time in big cities beforehand. When I was looking for something to do after work they provided me with great suggestions about things in the area like a sweet swimming spot in the river and a couple different hikes - some of which were right off of their property and a couple of which we all went on together. I also took a couple trips to the nearby towns (1 hr walking but hitchhiking was super easy) where I ate good Sicilian food and explored.

The surrounding nature is incredibly beautiful and accessible. Mount Etna is always staring at you while at this place and it offers skiing, hiking, lava caves, potential eruptions, and beautiful views. Its proximity to the beaches is incredible and the beaches themselves are outstanding.

We traded off cooking every night and I learned a lot about vegan recipes, bread, and Luca was always available when I had questions about spices and whatnot. The food Luca cooked was always incredible and the variety of food they had available for everyone made me feel super well nourished. I really enjoyed the mealtime conversations and they were a nice way to get to know everyone and learn more about the sanctuary lifestyle.

I found the work to be a nice level of physically demanding while also allowing me to learn new skills like planting, building a fence, and operating various power tools. The other volunteer and I were also left to create our own schedules which allowed me to organize my days freely. I also really liked the other volunteer, Teun, who I shared the time with, but that is for a different review haha.
Thank you Christin, Luca!

Daniel stayed with us for around three weeks, and during this time he helped us with a variety of tasks around the property. His main jobs included shredding our pruning to create woodchips for the vegetable garden, fencing work, planting shrubs and trees, as well as many smaller daily tasks that naturally come up in this kind of environment.
